update .
i think its not.

I drove like 450km but pumped like 31 litre of petrol only.

Probably im too light footed throughout the tank.
First time get this FC since i own it in 2015.
usually 38L get me around 420-480km

few years back i replaced before. the controller not expensive. labour from proton expensive. end up rm100++ i think
But only repalce the board yea.
the key,immobolizer and casing not replaced

maybe u should consider look for locksmith to do for you

My key masuk machine more than 5 times already after replacement.

usually if masuk machine i open the casing remove the battery .
let it dry a day before using it again.
Still functional except the alarm button.

u can consider drying ur componenent before trying.maybe ur pcb board already shorted as u operate when its wet

have u consider use OEM products?

To be honest servicing at Proton SC still ok
However if u want to replace parts unless ur budget alot doing at proton can be very costly.

U can consider finding workshop that can supply genuine part
or just get OEM parts.
My mounting,absorber front, absorber mounting as well as drive shaft is OEM product.
I rmb changing all those around 2k but not at one go.
Both left and right front absorber, mounting as well as drive shaft.

im not based in KL
but zordaq motorsport seems to be famous in proton cars. they do provide genuine parts if u reqeust

go for obd scan?

What you do in 2022 and 2023?

Waa. my front absorber changed in 2022 together with mounting (mounting kong)
my original absober rebound till 85% perfectly but the mechanic phyco me change.
the old one still inside my carboot.
I changed a KYB one not sure can tahan how long.

Tulang anjing i already change. the shorter tulang anjing and lower arm didnt change. my mechanic say not alot sound no need change. ori parts tahan longer haha.

My back absorber still untouched till today.

2015 persona. 210k km

Other stuff i changed was drive shaft and engine mounting.

Due to change: aircond controller hahahah


thx ofor sharing i will look it into detail
Dam flood.
hope u were covered by insurance.

Only thing i dont like about persona is the fuel. the rest all ok

Personally im looking for new vios tho i dont think is an upgrade.

Not much choice below rm100k.
Dont wan buy too expensive car.
Petrol subsidy maybe revoked soon ahhaa

S70 probably a no no to me .

Fuel consumption compared to perodua vios/shitty

Im not into 3 cylinder if possible.
With turbo shiok but long term ownership sure sakit.

AAC/AA not available

Too many things is relying on the screen.
somehow prefer the physical buttons.

Spareparts are not so abundance compared to vios/shitty.

i understand cvt famous putus.
Do note that older gen dct gearbox in x50 got issues as well
2/2 friend of mine replace the torque converter during warranty period hehe

My persona quite new compared to alot ppl here. 2015

Hahaha 15k discount i straight on hahahaa

October also 10k when I go see hahahah

how u drive so low 6.7L

i trying hard 70% highway 30% city super jam
also gettint 7.7L per 100km

highway also driving 80-90km/h

i also do flushing every year
last service i asked proton sc didnt flush for me kurang sejuk.

I went top up gas can already. not sure got abit leak or what
Kurang sejuk means still sejuk but not as cold as i want for example when i put it at 25C

To be honest I still feel my car powerful
Regularly change plug, filter.
Service tb twice.
5w30 engine oil
Once in awhile use techron cleaner.
220km
9.5 years ownership

agree its not cheap. everything add up

ATF,brake oil ,radiator fluid change (i never flush before but to date i have no issue with temp. tho i see some debris inside radiator.) ,power steering oil change aircond flushing.

for me other than my exterior paint and also my brake (sometimes feels soft. last time happened more. i flushed twice then didnt happen anymore for almost a year. recently kena once)

i think i spend quite alot on this car hahahhaa.
sometimes feel stupid but oh well.

haha this 2 years only start tracking
Minimum 1 to 1.5k yearly haha.

spark plug 30 if not mistaken ( i svc at protong)
ATF usually 20-30k km (1 to 1.5 years)
5w30 petronas ok la not leaking yet.
usually if leak , head gasket. common problem hahaha.
if use 5w30 near 10k km also pancit liao hahahha.
Once change back new oil. vroooooom

ATF based on books is 40k.
SC/mechanic recommend 20k
i hover around 20-30k see my mood.
spark plug i not sure tho.

I didnt know oil filter got leak. let me have a look
I didnt see any oil drips on the floor at the moment

Servicing in proton worth to get their fully. rm 189 if not mistaken.

Petronas syntium 3000 also more than rm200 already.
Those days before geely take over proton uses syntium 3000 then 3000se. now own package but by petronas as well.

yes they do but could be expensive as u need to pay rm 60++ for labour if not mistaken
might as well do 10,000.

unless u buy change outside
if not mistaken 12x rm

hope u get genuine oil.
what we fear of is recycle oil.

from my experience of using petronas oil.
Not a sign of sludge at all during head cover gasket replacement.
the area looks new.
